Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?
In our analysis, Heart with Candy & Icing Cookie Kit scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:
- Corn-Based Sweeteners (High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
- Modified Starches (Modified Cornstarch): Chemical modification is a hallmark of UPF.
- Artificial Colors (Red 40, Fd&C Yellow 6, Red 40, Fd&C Red 3): Synthetic colors are definitive UPF markers.
- Chemical Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate): Synthetic preservatives are UPF indicators.
- Other Additives (Acetylated Monoglycerides, Shellac): Miscellaneous additives generally indicate processing.
Within Baking Supplies, this product is more processed than about 55% of the 5,060 products we've analyzed.
Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
